The  Development  of  the   Priest  Power 

Horse  Clipping  and  Grooming 

Machines 


Joseph  K.  Priest 

*HE  earliest  result  of   Mr.  Triest's  efforts  in   this  line  was  the  Hand 
Power  Sheep  Shearing  Machine  here  illustrated. 

The  vital  or  cutting 
parts  of  this  machine 
consisted  of  a  univer- 
sal jointed  hand,  to 
which  was  attached  a 
steel -toothed  bottom 
plate,  or  comb,  across 
the  teeth  of  which  trav- 
eled a  top  or  cutter  plate 
of  fewer  teeth,  the  cut- 
ting surfaces  of  both 
plates  held  together  by 
an  elastic  pressure. 

The  power  to  operate  this  early  device  was  conveyed  by  means  of  a 
revolving  shaft,  called  the  Drop  Rod. 


This  machine  was  the  First  Power  Sheep  Shearing  Machine. 

While  modern  machines  do  not  resemble  it  in  outHne,  they  are  all 
made  after  the  Original  Priest  Form  of  Cutter  and  Attachment. 

At  the  time  of  its  invention  the  field  in  this  country  for  a  Power 
Sheep  Shearing  Machine  was  limited.  In  Australia,  where  its  possibil- 
ities were  greater,  it  was  promptly  appropriated  by  English  manufac- 
turers. There  was,  however,  an  opening  in  this  country  for  a  machine 
for  shearing  horses — something  to  take  the  place  of  the  tedious  and 
expensive  method  of  the  comb  and  scissors.

Priest's  Rotary   or   Buzz  Machine 


This  Original  Rotary  Handle  and  Cutter  in  its  improved  application 
to  the  Flexible  Shaft  will  be  found  illustrated  in  these  pages. 

The  Vibrating  Handle  and  Cutter  followed  quickly  after  the  Rotary 
and  will  be  easily  recognized  as  the  Original  Sheep  Shearing  Handle 
with  a  tine-toothed  top  and  bottom  plate. 


The  Original  Priest  Vibrating  Power  Clipper  as  here  ilkistrated  is 
interesting  as  a  preliminary  to  the  several  modern  cutters  shown  in  these 
pages. 

The  Hand  Clipper  for  shearing  horses  was  originally  made  and  used 
in  England.

the  Original  Power  \'ibrating  Cutter,

interesting  link  in 
ihe  chain  of  devel- 
opment. 


The  First   Hair  Clipper  for  Barbers'  Use 


invented  and  manufactured  by  Joseph  K.  Priest,  is  here  iUustrated  as 
completing  the  development  of  the  Hair  Clipping  Machine  from  the 
Hand  Power  Sheep  Shearing  Machine. 

The  grooming  feature  was  early  recognized  as  one  of  the  possi- 
bilities of  the  First  Priest  Power  Clipping  Machine,  with  a  rotary  brush 
m  place  of  the  cutters  on  the  rotary  handle.  The  possibilities  of  a 
Grooming  Attachment  were  demonstrated  by  Mr.  Priest  many  years  ago. 
The  practical  application  of  the  grooming  feature  was  first  made  prac- 
ticable through  the  general  use  of  small  power  gas  plants,  electric  and 
water  motors,  and  the  adaptation  of  the  flexible  shaft  invented  by  Mr. 
Priest,  this  shaft  consisting  of  a  series  of  universal  steel  joints  running 
in  an  elastic  spring  coil,  and  is  illustrated  in  these  pages. 


Evolved  from  the  Power  Clipper,  much  the  same  as  the  Power 
Clipper  was  from  the  Sheep  Shearing  Machine,  it  is  destined  to  have 
the  same  successful  future. 


A  Clipped  Horse  Looks  Clean 

A  power  groomed  horse  is  clean,  which  is  not  the  case  with  the 
average  hand  groomed  horse,  no  matter  how  he  looks.  That  a  clipped 
horse  is  more  sprightly,  in  better  health,  less  liable  to  take  cold,  and 
more  economical  to  keep  than  a  long  coated  horse,  is  due  entirely  to  the 
assistance  given  to  nature  by  the  artificial  removal  of  the  hair.  Power 
grooming  accomplishes  the  same  results  by  a  slower  and  perhaps  more 
natural  process.  The  daily  even  stimulation  of  the  skin  gives  a  benefi- 
cial result  that  is  quickly  apparent.  The  highest  spirited  horse  will 
stand  perfectly  quiet  after  one  or  two  operations.  The  careful  up-to- 
date  horse  owner  has  only  to  see  one  of  these  machines  in  operation  to 
become  one  of  its  strongest  advocates.  With  us  the  Grooming  Machine 
passed  through  the  experimental  stage  some  years  ago.  The  sale  of  sev- 
eral of  these  machines  within  a  few  months  can  be  traced  to  a  Double 
No.  7  Groomer  that  was  placed  in  June,  1896.  We  have  a  long  and 
rapidly  growing  list  of  enthusiastic  users  of  these  machines  from  1893 
down  to  date,  which  is  at  your  disposal  if  you  care  to  investigate. 

Any  power  may  be  used,  steam,  gas,  water,  or  electric  motor,  one-half 
horse-power  being  the  maximum  for  clipping  and  one  horse-power  being 
sufificient  for  grooming,  in  most  localities.  To  be  absolutely  sure  at  all 
times  and  under  all  conditions  we  recommend  for  grooming  one  and  one- 
half  horse-power.  The  time  required  to  clip  a  horse  in  the  best  manner 
possible  with  two  operators  is  from  fifteen  to  thirty  minutes.  When  used 
for  grooming,  two  operators  will  turn  out  from  ten  to  twelve  per  hour. 
It  is  desirable  to  place  a  Power  Groomer  or  Clipper  in  a  room  by  itself 
which  may  be  known  as  the  grooming  room  —  a  roomy  box  stall  will 
answer  ihe  purpose  nicely. 

The  ceiling  to  which  the  yoke  is  attached  should  not  be 
over  nine  feet  from  the  floor 

If  the  ceiling  is  higher  than  this  the  result  is  obtained  by  blocking 
down  for  the  yoke,  which  is  an  advantage,  as  it  gives  room  for  the 
pulley  head  to  move  upwards  and  lift  the  shaft,  when  using  the  brush  or 
cHpper  on  the  upper  part  of  the  body  of  the  horse. 

By  means  of  the  Balance  Arm  the  weight  of  the  flexible  shaft  is 
taken  from  the  hand  and  arm  of  the  operator.  Freedom  of  motion  and 
a  large  range  are  obtained  with  a  short  shaft.  The  above  features  of 
the  Priest  Machine  will  be  appreciated  by  use. 

All  handles  of  our  make  for  the  flexible  shaft  attachment 
can  be  used  on  these  machines

ments 

Extra 


This  machine  is  designed  for  a  complete  single  machine  to  be  used 
where  the  amount  of  work  is  not  sufficient  to  warrant  the  putting  in  of 
the  Double  No.  7.  As  a  clipping  machine  it  has  no  advantage  over  the 
Single  No.  7.  As  a  grooming  machine  it  has  the  great  advantage  over 
the  Single  No.  7,  that  the  direction  of  the  brush  can  be  instantly  re- 
versed without  stopping  the  machine,  an  indispensable  feature  for  a 
grooming  machine  with  only  one  yoke.  Weight  of  machine  ready  for 
shipment,  197  pounds.  Price  of  complete  machine,  without  motor,  in- 
cludes counter-shaft  yoke,  shaft  and  brush.  Driving  pulley  and  con- 
necting belting  is  not  included. 

A  Double  No.  8  Grooming  Machine,  that  is  also  the  equal  of 
the  Double  No.  7  as  a  perfect  power  clipper,  is  obtained  with  two  No.  8 
machines  driven  from  one  counter-shaft  —  constituting  a  Double  Groom- 
ing and  Clipping  Machine  for  two  operators.  Price  of  complete  machine 
includes  counter-shaft  and  all  overhead  work  except  the  driving  pulley 
and  connecting  flat  belting,  two  grooming  attachments,  two  chpping 
handles  with  two  extra  sets  3-inch  cutters,  choice  of  handles.  Price 
$175.00.      Weight  of  machine  ready  for  shipment,  about  350  pounds. 


Priest's  Single  No.  7 

A  Perfect  Power  Clipper  — One  Operator 


Price  $65.00 

Complete  for  Clipping,  with  choice  of  Handles,  one 
extra  set  3-inch  Cutters. 


The  Grooming  Attachment  is  not  recommended  for  this  machine,  as 
there  is  no  provision  for  reversing  the  brush.  This  can,  of  course,  be 
accomplished  by  holding  the  Brush  Attachment  upside  down,  a  very 
awkward  and  tiresome  operation. 

Price  is  without  motor,  driving  pulley  or  flat  belting;  includes 
counter-shaft  and  all  overhead  work. 

Weight  ready  for  shipment,  1 75  pounds. 


Priest's  Double  No.  7 

A  Perfect  Power  Clipper  and  Qroomer  for  Two  Operators 


Price  $100.00 

Complete  for  Clipping,  choice  of  Handles,  with  each 

Handle  one  extra  set  3-inch  Cutters. 

Grooming  Attachment  complete,  $7.00  each,  extra. 

In  the  design  and  construction  of  this  machine  every  effort  has  been 
made  to  produce  a  Strong,  Durable,  Light  Running,  Noiseless 
Machine.  The  yoke  is  made  extra  heavy  for  the  purpose  of  absorbing 
the  jar  or  vibration,  the  bearings  are  large  and  provided  with  self-oiling 
boxes  of  the  most  improved  type.  Weight  of  machine  ready  for  ship- 
ment, 315  pounds.  If  used  for  grooming,  the  flat  belt  from  the  counter- 
shaft to  one  yoke  should  be  crossed  to  give  proper  direction  to  the 
brushes.  Price  of  complete  machine,  without  motor,  includes  counter- 
shaft, and  all  overhead  work  for  two  shafts  with  choice  of  handles,  with 
vibrating  handle,  one  extra  set  of  cutters.  Driving  pulley  and  connect- 
ing belt  is  not  included. 


Priest's  Single  No.  9 

A  Perfect  Power  Clipper  and  Groomer  for  One  Operator 
Direct  Connected  Electric  Power 

The  Single  No.  9  machine 
is  complete  with  a  one  horse- 
power motor  and  automatic 
starting  rheostat.  In  this 
case  no  floor  space  is  occu- 
pied by  the  motor  and  coun- 
ter-shafting is  eliminated,  and 
the  belting  is  reduced  to  a 
single  belt  from  the  motor 
pulley  to  the  pulley  attached 
to  the  flexible  shaft  of  the 
groom  and  clipper.  The  mo- 
tor is  fastened  to  the  ceiling 
beams  in  an  inverted  posi- 
tion, and  the  counterpoise,  or 
balance  arm,  is  attached  to  a 
swivel  on  the  motor  case. 
This  clipping  and  grooming 
outfit  is  singularly  compact 
and  simple  and  requires  al- 
most no  attention  beyond  an  occasional  oiling.  In  ordering  it  is  simply 
necessary  to  state  the  nature  and  voltage  of  the  current^  and  if  alter - 
nating,  the  phase  and  number  of  alternations. 

With  the  electric  motor  driven  groomer  and  clipper  a  horse  may  be 
thoroughly  brushed  in  about  five  minutes  and  clipped  in  about  thirty-five 
minutes.     For  grooming  we  recommend  a  one  horse-power  machine. 

It  is  complete,  ready  to  attach  to  ceiling  and  connect  with  wire  of 
power  circuit  when  shipped;  no  skilled  mechanics  required  to  set  it  up 
and  start.  All  can  be  done  by  the  local  electric  power  people  without 
charge.     Weight  of  machine  ready  for  shipment,  about  400  pounds. 

Price  of  complete  machine  includes  motor,  grooming  attachment  and 
choice  of  clipping  handle  with  one  extra  set  3-inch  cutters. 
Price  on  application. 

Cost  of  Electric  Power. — The  following  data  are  from  a  test  of  one 
of  these  machines,  one  horse-power,  115-volt  direct: 

Average  Energy  for  one  hour  clipping,  300  watts. 
"  "  "  "   grooming,  422       " 

At  a  cost  of  IOC.  per  kilowatt  the  expense  was  about  3c.  per  hour 
for  clipping  and  ^%c.  for  grooming.

Messrs.  Wiebusch  &  Hilger,  Ltd., 

9  to  15  Murray  St.,  New  York  City. 
Gentlemen — With  reference  to  Priest's  No.  7  Power  Clipping  and 
Grooming  Machine,  would  say  that  we  have  had  one  of  these  machines 
for  the  past  three  years  and  find  that  it  is  satisfactory  in  every  respect. 

It  is  a  time  saver  and  does  its  work  thoroughly.  We  have  forty 
horses  and  it  takes  just  two  hours  and  forty  minutes  to  groom  and  clean 
them.  The  actual  time  it  takes  three  men  to  do  one  horse  is  four  min- 
utes—  that  is,  two  men  using  the  brushes  and  one  man  wiping.  This 
would  allow  twelve  minutes  for  one  man  to  groom  and  clean  a  horse 
with  your  machine,  whereas  if  it  was  done  by  hand  it  would  take  twenty 
minutes.  The  clipper  which  we  have  in  connection  with  the  machine  is 
also  very  satisfactory,  and  would  say  that  one  man  can  clip  a  horse  in 
forty  minutes.     Yours  very  truly, 

(Signed)         Wm.  Walsh,  General  Agent. 


The  T.  Eaton  Company  of  Toronto,  Canada,  who  had  one  machine 
in  1875,  write  under  date  of  July  7,  1902. 

"  We  have  four  of  your  Double  Grooming  Machines  in  one  stable 
and  groom  one  hundred  and  fifty  horses  daily.  We  use  three  men  to 
operate  each  and  we  properly  clean  all  these  horses  in  one  hour  and 
thirty  minutes.  The  machines  have  given  us  good  satisfaction  and  we 
are  very  much  pleased  with  them."

Gentlemen — Replying  to  your  favor  of  the  i8th  inst.  regarding  our 
experience  with  your  No.  7  Machine,  would  say  that  we  have  been  using 
this  machine  for  the  last  five  or  six  months  and  are  indeed  very  well 
satisfied  with  it,  not  only  for  its  perfect  work,  but  the  labor  it  saves. 

We  have  at  present  in  our  stable  thirty-one  horses,  and  this  number 
of  horses  are  cleaned  in  aliout  three  and  one-half  hours  by  one  man, 
and  we  are  satisfied  that  our  horses  are  in  much  better  condition  since 
we  commenced  using  this  machine.  We  can  gladly  recommend  the 
same  to  any  one  wishing  a  Labor  Saver.     Yours  truly,

Experience 

CAN  not  be  copied  or  acquired  by  any  short  cut.  The  CHpping 
feature  of  the  Priest  machines  is  so  well  understood  that  it  is 
unnecessary  to  go  into  detail  here. 

They  are  the  Best  Clipping  Machines  that  it  is  possible  to  build. 

This  is  also  true  of  the  Grooming  feature,  which  is  not  new  with 
us;  its  history,  it  will  be  noted,  is  closely  identified  with  the  devel- 
opment of  the  Clipper. 

It  is  well  to  7'eniefnl>er  that  the  general  outline  of  these  machines 
may  be  copied.  Grooming  and  Clipping  looks  the  same  in  print, 
and  Price  is  the  only  feature  of  an  imitation  that  is  made  attractive. 

It  is  only  with  the  Priest  machines  that  you  purchase  that  invis- 
ible quaUty  which  means  much  to  the  purchaser  —

to  be  the  most  serviceable  under  all  conditions. 


'■<'i  ilffli .' V!V\Ii\.''.''.M';'ll''Jf'Mlll!liluu 


These  brushes  are  made  from  a  special  stock  which  our  experience 
has  shown  to  be  the  best  adapted  for  the  purpose;  their  durability  is  a 
feature  peculiar  to  these  brushes. 


Operating  the  Brush 

The  best  results  are  obtained  by  merely  skimming  over  the  surface  of 
the  hair  with  light  pressure  and  a  series  of  quick  motions,  after  the 
ordinary  method  of  using  a  whisk  broom. 

A  common  error,  to  be  avoided,  in  the  use  of  the  Groomer  is  that  of 
keeping  the  brush  applied  by  a  heavy,  continuous  pressure.  This  is  not 
only  tiresome  to  the  operator,  but  is  accompanied  by  a  tremendous 
waste  of  power  without  obtaining  the  thorough  cleaning  of  the  easier 
and  correct  method  referred  to.
